    Simon....The episodes are also available online. There are IRC chatrooms on 24 (you can find where they are via Google), and then once you log in, you can see ftp information of where to ftp the files, and what the username and passwords are....good way to catch up on episodes you miss. Like I had my VCR set to tape while I was away in the UK, but it was pre-empted because of Bush's idiotic press conference last month, so I was able to get it that way....

    Sassy.....I tried to watch it but my player couldn't play the link. I think I'll try on a different computer. You're prolly right about Sherry. Do you think the writing this season is exceptionally good? Season 1 was kind of boring (the kidnapping thing went on too long), last season got too incredulous and contrived, but this season -- especially since March -- has been top notch.

    Okay, okay, if no one is going to weigh in on the mole question, then I will. Here's what I suspect. I think Michelle might be a mole. I would be very disappointed if she is, because I like her a lot and they've already done the high-ranking-CTU-female-is-a-mole thing back in Season 1 with Nina Myers. But it sure would explain a number of things, like:

    • How Michelle was so easily captured in a controlled environment by Saunders' men. She wasn't really captured, she just voluntarily left the containment area and went with Saunders' men who were waiting for her.
    • Why Michelle went into the hotel without much risk to herself. If she already was immune to the virus, and knew it, she had nothing to lose going in there, and it would be a perfect means to set up the emotional blackmail against Tony.
    • Did you notice in last week's episode, when Saunders put the knife to Michelle's face, he told Tony over the phone that he was cutting Michelle's face, but he was faking....that fits too with the theory that if Michelle is really his partner, he wouldn't really hurt her.

    What do you think? Can you think of any evidence against this theory? I like Michelle a lot and so I don't want it to be true, but is that how the story is leaning?

    You can add CJ and I to the list. I made the "mistake" of tuning halfway into a 24 Marathon that was running on the "Mystery" channel 2 years ago. Started watching at 9:00 A.M, and it didn't end until 9:00 P.M. LOL. Been faithful watchers ever since.

    Alias as well.

    Another underrated show..... Everwood.

    Sassy, and all.....

    Man, that was an awesome episode!!! I'm still reeling. Not at all predictable, I wasn't sure until the end how it was going to turn out (e.g. who was gonna live and who was gonna die) and when the F-16s showed up, which sure was a real crowd-pleaser. This definitely has to be the best season of 24. And I'm soooo glad it turned out that Michelle is legit.

    My other favorite character is Cloe. I love her socially-deficient square-peg personality...I see so much of myself in her. I hope she continues on next season. Dunno about Tony tho, looks like he's in hot water....

    Wonder how the next two hours go, or if they'll be anti-climactic....

    I love this show!! It's one of the very few I actually watch every week.

    Ok, I'm seriously pissed!! I checked my TiVo and it seems that American Idol ran waaaaaaaay late tonight. It recorded that instead of 24.

    I'm going to have to download it I guess.... but it's probably not going to be available so quickly after being on the air!

    Wow, that sucks!! This has to be the best episode this season (if not the episode when Chappell killed himself or the one when the virus was released). You might want to try the IRC rooms (e.g. #24 on EFNET) to see if ppl have the episode online already. I hope you get to see it...I was jumping out of my sofa rooting for Michelle....YOU GO MICHELLE!!! (I'm a big Michelle fan ;))

    I like the series, but the local affiliate kept switching it around from nite to nite, different times, so much so that it almost made me dizzy. Wouldn't mind catching up on DVD if I could get ahold of them.

    I hope you get to meet Kiefer. I saw him at the annual Atlantic Bowl (football) (he went to school here). Got a wave and a big smile. He is better in person! heheh

    I say Kiefer (Jack) is gonna head CTU next season. Tony's history, I think. Too bad, I like Tony Almeida. I also think his dumb daughter is gonna get killed by the end of the show.....I don't know, but I suspect that Elisha wants a movie career and might not want her contract renewed.
